Krystal Eaton grew up in Ninnekah, Oklahoma, a small town south of Chickasha. Krystal started taking legal assistant classes at the Canadian Valley Technology Center in high school and soon found out that being a legal assistant and working in the law field was her true calling. She graduated from Rose State College in 2010 with an Associates Degree in Applied Science of Paralegal Studies. Krystal started an internship as a legal assistant in Chickasha, Oklahoma in 2008. That internship turned into a career. She has been a legal assistant for 12 years.

Krystal has worked with the Buxton Law Group since July of 2015. Krystal does a little bit of everything from helping clients who have incurred personal and property damages by sewer floods caused by the city’s sanitary sewer system. She also works on both Plaintiff and Defense side of motor vehicle and commercial vehicle accidents. Krystal chose to work at the Buxton Law Group because Jim is the type of attorney that works hard for his clients, he isn’t about the money, he is about the well being of his clients. Working with Jim, Jill and Logan has truly been a blessing, they are more than co-workers they are family. If not in the office, Krystal enjoys spending time with her husband Brock and their families watching OU Sooner football, visiting the beach and playing with their niece and nephews.
